Chapter 149: Chapter 149

Gu Tiantian’s nerves were tense as she lay down to sleep at night.

In the end, she realized that Bai Chenyao merely held her as he slept, without any other intentions.

They had been lying there for almost an hour, and neither of them had spoken a word.

Gu Tiantian felt that all the most awkward moments in her life happened in front of Bai Chenyao.

Lying on the same bed as him, sharing the same pillow, he held her, even resting one of his hands dominantly on her chest.

Their faces were intimately close.

But their hearts... were worlds apart.

Gu Tiantian had never been in such a situation with Bai Chenyao before, usually, he would exhaust her to the point of death, and nearly after the act, he’d sleep after cleaning up.

Sometimes, he was so tired he couldn’t open his eyes, not even caring if he was clean or not.

But every time she woke up, despite feeling like her limbs were about to fall apart, she was always clean.

Gu Tiantian could only be sure of one thing: every time after Bai Chenyao washed up, he must have the incredibly strong maidens come in to clean her up.

She lay there with her eyes closed, because she was in Bai Chenyao’s embrace, her cheek resting against his chest, she could even hear his strong heartbeat.

This awkwardness... deepened as time slowly passed.

Gu Tiantian thought she was hiding it well, but she didn’t know that Bai Chenyao, who was holding her, was also not asleep, only pretending to be.

And because of her awkwardness and nervousness, Gu Tiantian’s long eyelashes occasionally trembled, lightly brushing against his chest, causing Bai Chenyao’s brows to furrow.

The hand resting on her chest suddenly started to knead after they lay in bed for an hour.

Gu Tiantian was startled, pretending to be asleep, acting like she didn’t know.

If being asleep meant avoiding certain things, she would have fallen asleep ages ago.

"I know you’re not asleep!"

Bai Chenyao’s cold voice came from above!

Pretending to sleep had failed, and it was her own fault—Gu Tiantian was exceedingly annoyed.

Anyone would find it hard to sleep suddenly next to a man as unfamiliar as a stranger.

Moreover, Bai Chenyao’s various behaviors beforehand had made her more cautious.

Hearing Bai Chenyao’s words, Gu Tiantian found herself at a loss for words.

After a long while, she barely managed a soft "mm".

The night was deep and quiet, the wall lamp in the room was on, casting a soft, dim light, and because of that question and response, the atmosphere suddenly turned ambiguous.

The cold voice was deep and pleasing to the ear.

But Gu Tiantian didn’t notice this; she was like a frightened bird, various reasons flashing through her mind until she found one she thought Bai Chenyao wouldn’t be angry about, and spoke it aloud.

That was respecting her own heart and not lying without reason.

"It feels... very unfamiliar!"

Even though they had done intimate things, back then it was one wanting to vent, the other forced to endure, completely different from this peacefulness.

After finishing, Gu Tiantian anxiously waited for Bai Chenyao to speak.

But after waiting for quite a while, she didn’t hear Bai Chenyao’s voice.

Gu Tiantian felt a bit puzzled, secretly wondering if she had again displeased Bai Chenyao.

Every time she thought about it, Gu Tiantian became incredibly irritable.

But in front of Bai Chenyao, no matter how annoyed she was, she had to remain obedient, or else the consequences were unbearable.

Just as Gu Tiantian was getting anxious, wildly guessing and imagining how difficult Bai Chenyao could be, a deep and mellow voice came from above.

It wasn’t cold, just straightforward and simple.

"Over a lifetime, you’ll get used to it!"
